Thursday. The Colorado Symphony Orchestra has had a lot of success pairing up with local pop acts with two of its best efforts coming from a 2012 collaboration with the art band DeVotchKa and a 2013 mash-up with folkie Gregory Alan Isakov. It all comes together in a sort of greatest hits moment July 17 at Red Rocks Amphitheatre when the CSO performs with both. Nederland-based Elephant Revival is the opening act. The classical-meets-pop pairings have been commercial successes, but they’ve also pushed the players in new directions and brought unexpected depth to the music. Moving the action to Morrison ups the Colorado quotient considerably. 7:30 p.m. July 17, Red Rocks Amphitheatre. $27.50-$65. 303- 623-7876 or coloradosymphony.org.

Vic Damone, a pop crooner whose creamy baritone and heartthrob good looks propelled his success at the jukebox and on-screen in the post-World War II era, and for five decades more in nightclubs and concert halls, died Feb. 11 at a hospital in Miami Beach. He was 89.
